Full Name: Dorcas Elizabeth Meadowes

Dorcas- Derived from the Greek dorkas (gazelle).The name was borne by a Christian woman of Joppa who devoted herself to works of charity. Through the prayers of Peter, she was raised from the dead, which led to many converting to Christianity

Elizabeth- Derived from the Hebrew elīsheba' (God is my oath). The name is borne in the Bible by a kinswoman of the Virgin Mary and mother of John the Baptist.

Birthday: 2nd of September (Virgo Star Sign)

Virgos are often put down badly by many astrologers and written up as being fussy and narrow-minded. But when a Virgo shines, there is practically no sign to match their inner light. An in-tune Virgo is a treat to meet. When a Virgo is confident within themselves they are the most successful, structured and creative of all the signs.  Many Virgos can be found working in the "service to others" industries, ranging from welfare work, doctors, school-teachers through to practicing natural forms of healing like massage, herbal remedies etc. One of the most magical characteristics of the Virgo is no matter how many times life or romance turns sour on them, they still manage to maintain faith in others, refusing to become cynical. There is ingenuity around this sign, a kind-heartedness, which unfortunately is sometimes played upon by others for their advantage. Virgos can often become victims of relationship power-games, where they are mistreated.  Creative and sensitive, Virgos are delicate people who, like rare and special orchids, require individual treatment to fully blossom into their true unique beauty. Shy, they are happy to allow others to take centre-stage and often generate their time and energy into making those they love happy or successful.  Virgos are givers and when the chips are down and you need a friend, the one available during those testing times when you need advice or companionship the most, is likely to be a Virgo. Virgos understand human frailties better than most, because they are so deep and reflective themselves. With a Virgo in your life you have someone who understands and cares and any romance or friendship based upon these qualities is certain to be mutually rewarding.

  Wand: 12 inches, Rosewood with Dragon heart string core, inflexible

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: Dorcas is a very powerful witch, one of the reasons Voldemort wants to recruit her; however, it is not until Dorcas is slightly older that she will be able to produce a Corporeal Patronus.  Right now her Patronus has a dog like form that will over time show itself to be a wolf. The wolf is a guardian and a symbol of loyalty, faithfulness, honesty, and willingness to fight injustice.  Doe is very protective of those she considers her family and is fiercely loyal, almost to a fault, and this makes a wolf her perfect protector. 

Amortentia: the smell of petrichor, firewhiskey, and musk

Petrichor (the smell of dust after rain)-Dorcas has always loved how the world looks and feels after the rain; it is clean and fresh as if the rain has washed all of the bad things away.  It is something that she associated with her childhood and feeling safe and loved.

Firewhiskey- When Dorcas’ first brewed Amortentia this was the most powerful smell, for rather obvious reasons.  Firewhiskey is how she has gotten through to this point in her life.  It also reminds her of her friends because when together that is the drink of choice. 

Musk- This smell shocked Dorcas more than the other smells because she can’t quite place it. 

  You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

Dorcas sat in front of the Headmaster, her head bent respectfully, the way her parents taught her.  She looked at her hands, which were folded in her lap, as she wondered why she had been called into his office.  Though she was nervous, she sat as still as a statue as it would have been rude to fidget.

What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts?

“I’m very certain that they aren’t rumors, Headmaster.  People are making choices about what side they are on already.  I feel certain that very soon there will be a tipping point that makes us go from this uncomfortable standoff to full fledged fighting.”

What is your thoughts on the muggle world?

“Unfortunately, Headmaster, I only know the little I’ve learned from my friends.  I’ve never really been exposed to it, but from what I do know it is amazing.”

Would you support you-know-who?

“Not if I have the choice no, Headmaster.” As much as Dorcas hated everything about The Dark Lord, she feared the choice would not be her’s to make.

 Who do you think has already shown their support to him?

“That is not really, my place to say, Headmaster.  Although, I do feel that perhaps some Slytherin’s have shown an interest in His cause.”

 If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish?

“May I ask, Headmaster, if this conversation will stay between the two of us?” When Dumbledore affirmed Dorcas continued. “I want to fight him and everyone like him.  I don’t believe a word of blood supremacy, and I want him to know that I am my own person, who is tired of having my decisions made for me, Headmaster.”

 What are you feelings on muggleborns?

Full Name: Edward Tonks Edward: Guardian / strong as a boar Tonks: This unusual and interesting surname is a patronymic from the name "Tonk", itself being a diminutive of the personal name Thomas, an Aramaic name meaning "twin"

Birthday: August 08, 1950

Wand: 14 inch, hazel, pheonix feather

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: Ted's Patronus is a bear. It shows the love of his family and personal strength. It is corporeal.

Amortentia: the smell of a new book, a fireplace and Andromedas perfume. Ted had always loved reading and the fireplace is something that reminds him of home. Andromedas perfume is something he had grown to love; as well as the person wearing it.

You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

1.  What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts? It's worrying me. I hope those rumors stay rumors.

2.  What is your thoughts on the muggle world? It’s what I grew up with. I love the 'muggle world', of course. There's not much difference between the wizarding world and the muggle world, except the obvious.

3.  Would you support you-know-who? No. I rather die for who I am and what I believe in.

4.  Who do you think has already shown their support to him? Does it sound intolerant to say most of Slytherin? Or at least the biggest, pure blooded families. Exceptions may be made.

5.  If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish? Support the Orden and fight with all I have. If I die, I die.

Birthday: 21st of Febuary 

Wand: Unicorn hair, 10 inch, Apple tree 

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: Otter

Amortentia: New cut grass, dusty books, Frank

You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

1.  What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts? "At the moment, I'm very neutral. I think that if people prepare for a war and attack each other, there will be one. But to be honest, people are over reacting, and if they just see that this situation isn't black and white, it would be a lot easier for everyone."

2.  What is your thoughts on the muggle world?

"I think it's quite quaint. I do like it and I think it's very interesting. To be honest, I don't really have a huge opinion about it. But I do see them as individuals and as equals."

3.  Would you support you-know-who?

"I don't think so, no."

4.  Who do you think has already shown their support to him?

"Everyone who has the potential and enthusiasm, but also the ones that feel got no choice. But I don't know any individuals I'm afraid."

5.  If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish? 

"I don't want to fight. I'm kind of a coward. I just... want to be left out of it, that's all."

6.  What are you feelings on muggleborns?

Birthday: March twenty-seventh

Wand: 11 inch Mahogany, Dragon Heart String Core, Pliable

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: James has had a completely corporeal patronus of a stag since his fourth year.  It was something that has always come easy to him. 

Amortentia: The air around the Quidditch Pitch, The Forest, and something uniquely Lily Evans that James has realized is the scent of her shampoo.  

You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

1.  What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts? I think that there is definitely a war outside the walls of Hogwarts and as much as people try to tell us all, it's not a problem, it's definitely a problem, and it's disgusting. It's pointless, disgusting and sick.  

2.  What is your thoughts on the muggle world? It intimidates me, of course, since I was raised a pureblood, but above all, it fascinates me.  Ever since I met Lily, I wanted to know more about the world that she was from, but don't ever ask me to use that hoover thing, or those things that shoot bread at you. 

3.  Would you support you-know-who? Fuck no. I would never support that monster. Erm I mean, Heck no. Sir, I'm not going to watch my mouth against that monster, nor am I going to be afraid to say his name. Lord Voldemort is a coward, who gets off on hurting people, and it makes me sick. I think sometimes I want him dead, but that makes me like him and his worthless followers.  I want them all to realize how pathetic they are, but I don't think they ever will. But no, I support him not existing.  

4.  Who do you think has already shown their support to him? Let's see, my guess is definitely the Carrow Twins, since they're pathetic and get off on torture, obviously Bellatrix since well, she doesn't hide it and probably the Lestrange brothers too. I would say a lot of the Slytherins, but I don't know. They're fucking cowards, all of them. This might be wrong, but I would love to see them all suffer, every one of them, for being fucking morons.  Hm? I really don't care about my mouth. People like them don't deserve anything. Probably dick fuck worthless moron Snape too.

5.  If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish? I would be willing to fight, to help any way I can, to recruit others like minded, so that we can work together and I have a vast inheritance that I'd be willing to offer. Sir, someone has to end this and I want to help. I want to help make a difference before anyone I care about or love gets killed.  Let me help.  

Birthday: February Twenty-Second

Wand: Apple, Phoenix Feather, Ten inches, next to no flexibility. 

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: Anderomeda was the first of the Black sister’s to be able to cast a fully corporeal Patronus, and of course because of this Bellatrix teased her mercilessly, making fun of little bird which had appeared in front of the dark haired witch. She was only fourteen at the time, and her sister’s words humiliated Andy so much that she had never even bothered to identify the kind of bird. It was two later that Ted told her it was a lark.

Amortentia: The scent was unique. That was the first though that drifted into the dark haired girl’s head as she sat in potions class, her eyes closed as she inhaled deeply, biting down on her bottom lip. She could detect the smell of books, coffee, rain, cotton and of course Ted’s cologne. That day, in the dreary dungeon, caught under the dull monotone of Slughorn’s voice was the first time she realized that she loved the boy.

You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

1.  What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts? I hope they’re just rumors, but I don’t really believe they are. I think they’re the very beginning of something I never want to think about.

2.  What is your thoughts on the muggle world? I… I’m ashamed to say I don’t know it well enough to really think about it. My family says it’s despicable, but I’ve heard from other’s that it can be quite beautiful. 

3.  Would you support you-know-who? The Black family believes in blood supremacy. 

4.  Who do you think has already shown their support to him? That’s really just not my place to say, with all do respect. It would be just guesses anyway, I don’t know for sure. I suppose you never do unless you take the mark.

5.  If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish? I… I can’t fight against him. I can only try to stay uninvolved, for now.

Full Name: Alecto Rowa Carrow

Birthday: July Seventeenth. 

Wand: Blackthorn, Unicorn Hair, Eleven inches

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: What it honor it was for Alecto to see a snake, glowing and ethereal as her Patronus, glowing and ethereal. She took pride in it, perhaps more than she ought to, and more than one of her house mates were jealous, though none of them really understood why she had the Slytherin creature as her emblem. None of them saw the way her cold heart reflected that of the smooth creature, or the poison that dripped from her words. No one saw that something so lovely could be a monster in disguise. 

Amortentia:  The scent of blood, rain, and Amycus. And if she stops and was willing to admit it, she would find the smeel of Rab's sheets.

You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

1.  What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts? I think they’re becoming much more than rumors. I think their reality, were just kept safe hidden in the castle. For now.

2.  What is your thoughts on the muggle world? I try not to think about that manner of filth. Sir.

3.  Would you support you-know-who? The Dark Lord? It is no secret I believe in bloody purity. However, I’m not off running errands for him if that’s what you mean to ask

4.  Who do you think has already shown their support to him? Anyone who has a desire to be on the winning side of this war. 

5.  If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish?  N/A

Birthday: The thirteenth of January.

Wand: Black Walnut, Dragon Heartstring, ten inches, quite flexible

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: Rita’s patronus is a fox, for what a quick sly little thing she is. Her ears are sharp, and so is her tongue, not to mentioned the fact she is so two faced. She was not really surprised when she first cast the charm for the millionth time and the little animal sprung forth. It was really rather cute she supposed, but one of the older Slytherin’s made fun of her for it. She got him back though. Funny, how easy it was to find out he was fucking his sister’s boyfriend. 

Amortentia: The smell of new ink, fills Rita with a sort of euphoria, and it always has, so it was no surprise when she first inhaled the Amortentia that was the most prominent scent. Next came Butterbeer, also hardly a shock, after all she really did love the stuff, and with alcohol came secrets. However the third scent was one that sent a chill down her spine, made her brows draw together with confusion and her bite down on one of those red painted lips. Why was she smelling blood?

You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

1.  What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts? I think it will be tragic, but quite interesting to watch from a far. People picking sides, getting all caught up in the drama off it, making mistakes, betraying each other. I have no doubt you know of my little gossip column, Sir so I will be completely honest. It will bring me plenty of things to write about. But the real question is what do you think about the rumors?

2.  What is your thoughts on the muggle world? I have few thoughts on it. I’ve never spent much time with juggles.

3.  Would you support you-know-who? I find it is in my best interest to support whichever side is winning. 

4.  Who do you think has already shown their support to him? Part of sustaining impartiality, Headmaster, is not giving away the secrets of either side. In this case, with all do respect I must obtain from comment. 

5.  If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish? I have no intent to fight for either side. My efforts are best directing to preserving my own safety. Now, I must ask, what sort of efforts are you personally putting in in order to defeat you-know-who? 

Birthday: She was born on Halloween. 

Wand: Larch wood, Vela hair, twelve inches, quite firm.

Patronus - Corporeal or Non-Corporeal: At this point in her life I do not believe Marlene would be able to cast a Patronus charm, but when she does gain the ability, it would be a coyote.  The particular creatures are know for being clever, mischievous and very playful. They are capable of hunting in packs but more often opt solitude, which is much like how I see Miss McKinnon.The memory she would use to form the Patronus would be this time in the common room, just lazing about with all of her mates. Her head was laid in Lily’s lap, who was braiding her hair and James was telling some ridiculous story involving a midget, his transfiguration text book, three different birds, all named Carla and the back of a muggle car. Sirius had snuck in some butterbeer which they were all drinking and everyone was laughing and smiling. For the life of her Marlene couldn’t remember ever being that telexed and at peace before, her worries (of which there were) many stolen away by the heat of the fire and the sound of Remus’ records which they were playing.

Amortentia: Marlene would smell pine trees and linen with undertones of smoke and whiskey, perhaps even a very faint trace of sex or coffee.

You are called into Dumbledore’s office, and asked the following questions. Answer them from your character’s point of view

1.  What do you think about the rumors of a war rising outside Hogwarts? What do I think of them? I think they’re true. I think there are people so fuc- messed up out there that they actually give a damn about blood purity. I think they get off on hurting others and have such a power complex that they think this arbitrary thing, this thing they can’t control in the slightest actually makes them better than other people.

2.  What is your thoughts on the muggle world? I don’t know all that much, to be honest. Besides their music is bloody brilliant, but from what my muggle born friends have told me it’s really quite nice. I just can’t imagine actually having to clean by hand. 

3.  Would you support you-know-who? Oh, yes of course. I plane fit in meeting on how to over take the world in between my regular class attendances, long study sessions, time spend ironing my robes, and routing heavily for those fucking snakes in every Quidditch game. Oh, and of course getting married and having seventy children. 

No, I would not.

4.  Who do you think has already shown their support to him? Probably those Carrows, Mulicber, the Blacks, other than Sirius, you know, just any pure blood Slytherin with a stick up their arse. 

5.  If you don’t support you know who, what would you want to do to fight against what he’s trying to accomplish? That depends entirely on what needs to be done. Honestly, the moment I’m out of here I intend to be fighting for the right side of this thing. I would rather die fighting than see this battle lost. I’m just… I don’t want to watch anyone else die.
